From kde-multimedia Sat Jan 26 22:29:43 2002 From: Neil Stevens Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 22:29:43 +0000 To: kde-multimedia Subject: aRts/KDE Video Roadmap Meeting Summary X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-multimedia&m=101208418317577 #kde-multimedia had a large turnout, with a peak of 26 participants. This shows that the KDE and aRts community has a large interest in adding video. There was so much turnout, in fact, that participants could not agree on one path for video development in aRts and KDE. Some wished for a successor to mpeglib, something that could work within arts, only with optimizations necessary for high-framerate video. Others saw no need for aRts itself to be extended for audio, and proposed using an external video system. Fortunately there were volunteers willing to code for each approach, so development has been organized into multiple teams. Development will commence on multiple paths concurrently. In time, when one is mature and ready for use by KDE, one will be chosen to be a KDE standard. The teams are: Team Blue, who will work on libav, and on integrating video into aRts, cound as members Ryan Cumming, Matthias Kretz, Charles Samuels, Martin Vogt, Stefan Westerfeld. Team Transcode, who will work with the Transcode system, writing the code necessary for aRts audio integration and KDE application integration, counts as members Rob Kaper, Neil Stevens, Fabian Wolf. The as-yet-unnamed Xine team, who would work on Xine integration, seems to have no members yet, but anyone interested should contact Daniel Molkentin or Ewald Snel. Ewald Snel has already written an aRts output plugin for xine.

Think of it as a call to action. _______________________________________________ kde-multimedia mailing list kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-multimedia
